She's hilarious and weird. She writes Real Housewives recaps on Vulture and has this pocast where she rambles forEVER and also interviews people and I don't know, now I think we are friends.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

meara, is it cheaper to not efile? That hadn't even occured to me....and the answer is no, it's the same. To the pencil and paper!
Oh, huh. I think the one I use you can print it out and paper file for free, but of course you don't get your money back for longer. I think it charges for the state return though. Or maybe I'm just totally mis-remembering. (And I might've paid last year because for the first time it was actually complicated, with working from home and owning a house and stuff)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I had a nice breakfast this morning with a fan-friend I don't get to see enough (Jesse, it's the woman I put you in touch with when you first moved back to Boston): we got to bond over having really cool jobs with ludicrous bureaucratic burdens associated with them.
And then I hit DSW and got two pairs of shoes on sale--I guess they're last year's styles? Which is close enough to fashionable for me.
And I have run errands and got my smog check done and bought food at TJ's and now I want to sleep but I am going climbing in an hour. Woof.
Tomorrow I'm going to a dog show! Not just a dog show, but a bench show, where I will see my sister's puppy lose to several dozen other golden retrievers. But it will be fun to see all the dogs, anyway.

Oh, fun! We had a nice drink, but haven't really crossed paths since.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit. I got into a long conversation with the guys upstairs, and when I got back to my desk someone reports to me that the system I'm adjacent to (reports back up to my boss, and I should really know more about it) is down. I could have been on my way home!
Luckily I caught a developer who'd made a similar error, and he's working on it, but damn...

FYI: I found the free e-file thingy on the IRS site.

Oh, good god. Someone was giving Porto's baked goods for their birthday today. The chocolate cupcake (which I don't need to be eating because I HAVE ANOTHER ONE ON MY DESK) has ganache on top. Mother fucker, it's good. That's dinner right there. No way I'm eating anything else.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, god, how am I getting sucked into watching Shark Tank?

To be fair, it was pretty. And I didn't hate Brad Pitt in it. But...yeah.
